BAG=HOLDER.

' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,407, dated November 27, 1888.

Application filed April 28, lSSS. Serial No. 272,202. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT D. WALLAoE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wilmot, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Holders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to theletters and ligures of reference marked thereon, in which Figure l is an isometrical view of the holder, showing it attached to the adj listing-bar. Fig. 2 is a side view of a truck, showing holder at tached thereto and a bag attached to the holder. Fig. 3is a back View oftruck, showing holder attached. Fig. 4C is a side view of a truck, showing parts broken away and the holder turned down out of the way. Fig. 5 is a sectional view, showing bag clamped.

The present invention has relation to bag holders; and it consists in the different parts and combinationofpartshereinafterdeseribed, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the semicircular arm, which is provided with the rib a, substantially as illustrated in the drawings. This semicircular arm A is securel y attached to the support or head B, which is pivotally attached to the top or upper end of the adjusting-bar O, at about its center,substantially as illustrated in the drawings. The adj ustingbar O is attached to the truck D by means of the staples b or their equivalents. For the purpose of securely holding the adjusting-bar O at any desired point of adjustment within the limits of its movements, the set-screw c is provided. To the support 13 is alsoattached the spring-bar O,passing through said support and following the curvature of the arm A. The ends of the spring-bar O are each provided with the curved portion d, which is for the purpose of operating the spring-bar O. The support or head B is provided with the shoulder e, which is for the purpose of holding the semicircular arm A in a horizontal position by means of said shoulder abutting against the adj Listing-bar C, as shown in Fig. 1.

In use the mouth of the bag E is folded over the semicircular arm A, as illustrated in Fig.- 2, and the springbar placed in the position shownin said Fig. 2, thereby securely clamping the bag E between the semicircular arm A and the spring-bar G. The spring-bar O is so arranged and adjusted that when placed in the position shown in Fig. 2 it will come below the rib a, as illustrated in Fig. 5, thereby causing said spring-bar to hug the bottom or under side of the rib c as the bag E is drawn downward, thus securely locking the bag in proper position. \Vhen it is desired to disengage the bag E from the holder proper, the curved portions d are pressed or forced downward, thereby disengaging the spring-bar O, when it is free to fall,as indicated by the dotted lines, Fig. 1; and when it is desired to attach a bag the spring-bar is brought over and placed as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In case it is desired to use the truck D independent of the holder proper, said holder isturned back, as illustrated in Fig. 4.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the truck D and adjustable bar 0, of the pivoted head B, the semicircular arm A, provided with the rib or flange a, and the spring-bar O, encircling and in contact with said arm, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT D. WALLACE.
